Update @ 37.3 weeks

I'm uber crazy at work trying to prepare to be out when baby Daniel makes his appearance, so this update will be brief...and bulleted...
  • I feel humongous. I'm definitely out of that "awww, I like being a cute prego!" phase and onto "awwww, I love my baby but really wish shirts would cover my belly" phase
  • I had to buy new tops to make room for my hugely-growing belly (and ps if you're expecting: Target is having a huge clearance on their maternity clothes AND the Moss.imo regular tanks are AWESOME during pregnancy--just buy a L or XL and they'll fit the whole time!)
  • Dr. N. thinks Daniel will be between 7 and 7.5 pounds
  • Today I was FINALLY dilated (1cm) and effaced (50%)
  • Bad news: Daniel is face up...which means we will have to turn him once I go into labor.  I knew God was preparing me for a long labor with all these workouts I've been doing during pregnancy ;-) Dr. N. says it's not necessarily a c-section, but I will have to push a lot. I'm ok with that, but I'll do whatever it takes to get baby here healthy and happy.
  • We are installing the car seat tonight. Promise.
  • Shooting pains down the chacha = baby's head dropping.  At least there's a reason I cry out in shocked pain at random points in the evening.
  • Sparky turns 30 next week...I'm hosting a 30th birthday party for 20 people on Saturday. At 38 weeks pregnant. 
I think that's it for now.  Happy Tuesday!

I know you recently said you had one month to go, but somehow 37.3 sounds even closer! Happy birthday Sparky ... and happy soon-to-be-birthday, baby! Can't wait to hear your news. xx

You're getting so close! Hang in there, mama. It won't be long now.
